Guys,
When running IOS on the Catalyst 6500, what is the difference between
the following:
First, put a bunch of interfaces (ports) into VLAN 20, including port
3/1, then configuring:
interface FastEthernet 3/1
ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
OR
First, put a bunch of interfaces (ports) into VLAN 20 and then assign
the IP address
to a logical VLAN interface itself:
interface VLAN 20
ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
Do these accomplish the same thing?
Another question, what makes an interface a 'layer 3' interface, just
the presence of a layer 3 address, or is there more to it?
